Bunheads: Is Anyone Watching?

I fell in love with Gilmore Girls the second I started watching it. I saw so much of myself in Rory and identified closely with her relationship with Lorelei. When the promos for Bunheads started, I felt a mixture of excitement and hesitation. ASP (Amy Sherman-Palladino) has written/created some of my favorite TV, but let’s be honest…Bunheads is a silly name for a TV show. I didn’t even take it seriously until I heard that it was created by ASP.

After watching the last few weeks, one thing is clear: ASP has a knack for small town drama. She creates quirky characters and like Gilmore Girls, the show is full of fast talking, pop culture reference filled mini monologues.

So far, it’s almost like a copy of Gilmore Girls. I’ve counted 5 recycled actors in the first five episodes! You know what? That’s ok with me. This is the kind of TV that makes me happy. It’s the kind of TV that brings you a little joy every week and makes you sad when it’s over. It doesn’t need ridiculous medical mysteries, bombing/shootings, endless bed-hopping, or cheesy sweeps clichés (I’m calling you out Shonda Rhimes). I truly hope that ABC Family will give this show a chance, especially since Secret Life of the American Teenager (the WORST show ever created) is in season 5!

Anyway, as we all know, the black swan fueled ballerina trend has been over for a little while. Maybe Bunheads will bring it back! These are some of my favorite ballet-inspired accessories.
